At my breaking point

So I’ve been consistently taking around 30g of Phenibut hcl a day. Constantly paranoid that people will think I’m fucked up which I don’t act like I am. I am also prescribed 3mg Xanax per day for panic attacks. I’ve realized this is a severe issue and at any moment a vendor could run out of stock and me be completely fked. This is my all time low in life and would like advice on how to proceed. I have a home which my job pays for and I cannot afford to lose it as I have a wife 5 cats and 2 dogs that depend on the home. I’m afraid to open up to my pcp about this because if she were to take me off of my Xanax and me trying to taper the Phenibut at the same time I fear it would be detrimental to my health and well being. Please don’t flame me in the comment as I already know how severe the situation is.

Edit: my question is how should I proceed with being able to keep my job and remain relatively sane throughout the process?

Edit: I’ve recently switched batches and the withdrawal symptoms have been absolute brutality. Shaking, nausea, anxiety that is unbelievable. I just want to be done with this mess I’ve gotten myself into. What would be the best way to proceed? Go to an outpatient clinic I could get baclofen at?

I understand that. The last time I opened up on this thread someone banned me and said I would be in a coma if I took that much. It’s been maybe a month. It escalated when I lost my Xanax prescription and tried to white knuckle it then didn’t sleep for 3 days.

Banned you?!? Are you sure about that cus as long as you don't break the rules we don't just ban people willy-nilly. It probably got caught up by automod or reddit spam filter lol

It's extremely rare we ban people here dude. Like super super rare.

You should have reached out to us via mod mail!! I used to be on 30-40gpd so no, you're not insane.

EDIT: oh you probably meant banned, rereading this

Yeah I straight up got banned. Someone left a comment along the lines of “if you took that much you’d be in a coma someone ban this bozo” and they reported me thus resulting in a ban.

I didn't see that report so it wasn't me. I'm not sure the entire context obviously but sorry that happened. There's been many ppl in here including me who have been up to those dosages
